基于社区药房的哮喘服务-患者的偏好如何?
2010/11/04
背景:患者的偏好能影响治疗的转归,因此,了解患者偏好并围绕这些偏好组织医疗保健服务至关重要。
目的:研究患者对基于社区的不同种类哮喘服务的偏好、研究为此类服务而构建偏好经验的影响及患者偏好的服务特点。
方法:对下列2类哮喘患者进行半结构式面访谈:(1)无哮喘专业服务的患者;(2)有哮喘专业服务的哮喘患者。对访谈内容录音,逐字誊写并进行专题分析。
结果:对18名患者进行访谈(8名哮喘服务患者,10名无哮喘服务患者)。大部分患者需要药师在哮喘治疗中扮演重要角色。哮喘服务水平增加的患者,其期望水平也增加,而且对哮喘服务的不同方面有特殊偏好。哮喘服务的特殊方面,也是所有患者需要药师提供的服务,是提供有关哮喘及其用药、肺功能检测、哮喘监测以及检查/纠正吸入器使用情况的相关信息。患者同时表示,需要熟练的沟通和药学专家行为方面支持,包括友善、同情、专注、专门时间。患者强调了药房对隐私保密的重要性。对于目前的哮喘服务,无哮喘服务和有哮喘服务的患者都具有较高水平的满意度。专业服务的提供与患者对特殊药房的忠实程度增加相关。所有患者均愿意参加未来药房提供的专业化哮喘服务。
讨论:哮喘患者认为基于药房的哮喘专业化服务内容至关重要。鉴别患者对该服务不同内容偏好的程度非常重要。未来基于药房的服务应该整合患者偏好,根据患者需要定制专业服务,以确保服务的长期有效性。

Abstract
Background: Patient preferences can influence the outcomes of treatment and so understanding and organizing health-care services around these preferences is vital.
Objective: To explore patient preferences for types of community pharmacy-based asthma services, to investigate the influence of "experience" in molding preferences for such services, and to identify aspects of the services that patients prefer over others.
Methods: Semistructured face-to-face interviews were conducted with a convenience sample of two types of asthma patients: (1) those naïve to a specialized asthma service and (2) those who had experienced a specialized asthma service. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically analyzed.
Results: Eighteen interviews were conducted (8 experienced patients, 10 naïve patients). The majority of the patients wanted the pharmacist to play a greater role in their asthma management. Patients experiencing increased levels of service had increased levels of expectations as well as more specific preferences for various aspects of the service. The key aspects of an asthma service that all patients wanted their pharmacists to provide were the provision of information about asthma and its medications, lung function testing and monitoring of their asthma, and checking/correcting their inhaler technique. Patients also expressed a desire for skilled communication and behavioral aspects from the pharmacist such as friendliness, empathy, attentiveness, and dedicated time. Patients highlighted the importance of privacy in the pharmacy. There was a high level of satisfaction toward the currently delivered asthma service among both naïve and experienced patients. The provision of the specialized service was associated with increased patient loyalty to the particular pharmacy. All patients indicated a willingness to participate in future pharmacy-delivered specialized asthma services.
Discussion: Elements of the specialized pharmacy-based asthma services important from a patient’s perspective were identified. It would be important to identify the strength and magnitude of patient’s preferences for different elements of such services. Future pharmacy-based services should incorporate patient preferences and tailor services to patient’s needs to ensure their long-term viability.
